BACKGROUND Proposal The Applicant proposes an amendment to the Miami 21 Zoning Atlas (rezone) from "T4-L" to "T5-L" of multiple parcels located at 600 NW 42 Avenue, 4251, 4253, and 4255 NW 6 Street, and 601 NW 43 Avenue (the "Property") in the Flagami neighborhood. The Property is composed of four parcels and a portion of one parcel (0141050310080 or 600 NW 42 Avenue). The Property totals 76,343 SF (1.75 acres). The proposed rezone requires a proposed companion Future Land Use Map amendment (PZ-21-10160) from "Low Density Restricted Commercial" to "Medium Density Restricted Commercial." Page 2 of 11 Figure 1: Existing Zoning Image 1: View East of Property from NW 43 Avenue Site Location & Surrounding Uses The Property is composed of the parcels on the north side of NW 6 Street between NW 43 Avenue and NW 42 Avenue (Le Jeune Road). The parcel fronting NW 42 Avenue (0141050310080) is a bifurcated parcel that has T4-L on the west and T6-8-O on the east (see Figure 1). The T6-8-O portion of the parcel is not proposed for rezone or Future Land Use Map ("FLU") amendments. There are no structures on the Property. The Property is a portion of an assemblage that has an Interim Parking Permit and currently serves as a temporary parking lot (see Image 1 and Image 2).

ANALYSIS Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) The existing FLU designation is Low Density Restricted Commercial (see Figure 4). The Property serves as a buffer between the Restricted Commercial designations along the NW 7 Street and NW 42 Avenue corridors and the Duplex Residential designations to the south and west. The proposed zoning amendment would require the FLU designation to be amended to Medium Density Restricted Commercial (see Figure 5).

Figure 5: Proposed FLUM Map PZ-21-10180 07/30/21 The intent of the existing FLU designation is interpreted by the MCNP below: Low Density Restricted Commercial Areas designated as "Low Density Restricted Commercial" allow residential uses (except rescue missions) to a maximum density equivalent to "Low Density Multifamily Residential" subject to the same limiting conditions; transitory residential facilities such as hotels and motels. This category also allows general office use, clinics and laboratories, auditoriums, libraries, convention facilities, places of worship, and primary and secondary schools. Also allowed are commercial activities that generally serve the daily retailing and service needs of the public, typically requiring easy access by personal auto, and often located along arterial or collector roadways, which include: general retailing, personal and professional services, real estate, banking and other financial services, restaurants, saloons and cafes, general entertainment facilities, private clubs and recreation facilities, major sports and exhibition or entertainment facilities and other commercial activities whose scale and land use impacts are similar in nature to those uses described above. This category also includes commercial marinas and living quarters on vessels as permissible. The nonresidential portions of developments within areas designated as "Low Density Restricted Commercial" allow a maximum floor lot ratio (FLR) of 3.0 times the net lot area of the subject property. The intent of the proposed FLU designation is interpreted by the MCNP below: Medium Density Restricted Commercial Areas designated as "Medium Density Restricted Commercial" allow residential uses (except rescue missions) to a maximum density equivalent to "Medium Density Multifamily Residential" subject to the same limiting conditions; transitory residential facilities such as hotels and motels.

PZ-21-10180 07/30/21 Demographics The Property is located in Census Block Group 120860049023. The Median Household Income for this Block Group is $51,643, which is comparable to Miami -Dade County Median Household Income of $51,347. The majority of BGs adjacent to BG 120860049023 have lower MHI between $19,915-$46,750. However, areas to the east and south have higher MHI between $55,197 and $64,900. BG 120860049023 has a vacancy rate of 33.46%, which is higher than Miami -Dade County (13.75%) and City of Miami (15.03%) rates. Vacancy rates within the area appear lower than BG 120860049023, ranging between 3.79-15.61 %. Miami 21 Cock' The proposed rezone is located in an existing "T4-L" General Urban Transect Zone - Limited. The Property serves as a boundary between the higher intensity "T6-8-O" areas to the north and east and the lower intensity residential "T3-O" areas to the south and west of the Property. The Applicant has proposed to rezone the property to "T5-L" Urban Center Transect Zone -Limited. Similar to "T4-L", "T5-L" permits a mix of residential and nonresidential uses. The "T5-L" zone permits higher density and a greater variety of uses including dormitories, inns and hotels, places of assembly and higher intensity educational facilities by Right or by Exception. For details on changes in Permitted Use see Table 1. The proposed changes would allow heights to increase from 3 permitted stories to 5 permitted stories. The permitted 5 story height in the proposed "T5-L" zone would be an inappropriate transition between the existing "T3-O" areas across the NW 6 Street and NW 43 Avenue that are limited to two stories in height. Additionally, introducing higher heights and intensity "T5-L" could create encroachment of higher zoning into the established "T3" zone. For details on development standards see Table 2.

PZ-21-10180 07/30/21 11000 Zoning Code The Property was zoned R-2 Two Family Residential and had a SD-12 Special Buffer Overlay under the previous 11000 Zoning Code (see Figure 6). The R-2 zone permitted 18 dwelling units per acre and is comparable to "T3-O" in the Miami 21 Zoning Code. The SD-12 Overlay was intended to "create buffer areas between residential and nonresidential districts." Buffer overlays were able to be developed with the underlying use or as a parking lot in combination with adjoining commercial, office, or industrial lots. Figure 6: 11000 Zoning Designation (R-2 with SD-12 Overlay) Page 9 of 11 Rezoning Criteria Criteria 1 7.1.2.8.f.1.a "The relationship of the proposed amendment to the . u objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan, with approp consideration as to whether the proposed change will further the go.`P>+ objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan; the Miami 21 Cod -, and other city regulations." Analysis Policy LU-1.1.3: The City's zoning ordinance provides for protection of all areas of the city from: (1) the encroachment of incompatible land uses; (2) the adverse impacts of future land uses in adjacent areas that disrupt or degrade public health and safety, or natural or man-made amenities; (3) transportation policies that divide or fragment established neighborhoods; and (4) degradation of public open space, environment, and ecology. Strategies to further protect existing neighborhoods through the development of appropriate transition standards and buffering requirements will be incorporated into the City's land development regulations. Analysis LU-1.1.3: The City's zoning ordinance strives to protect existing neighborhoods and prevent the encroachment of incompatible land use types. Introducing a higher intensity zoning category within this area would introduce higher density and intensity land use encroachment across from an established low intensity neighborhood on both NW 6 Street and NW 43 Avenue. Policy LU-1.6.9: The City's land development regulations will establish mechanisms to mitigate the potentially adverse impacts of new development on existing neighborhoods through the development of appropriate transition standards and buffering requirements. Analysis Policy LU-1.6.9: The proposed change from "T4-L" to "T5-L" while successional does not create a buffering across the street for the "T3" neighborhoods. This proposed change would place higher density, height and more intense uses adjacent to a T3-O zone and would not create an appropriate transition to the neighborhood. Finding Criteria 1 In accordance with Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8 (f)(1)(a) of Miami 21 Code the requested change in zoning is inconsistent. Criteria 2 7.1.2.8.f.1.b. "The need and justification for the proposed change, including changed or changing conditions that make the passage of the proposed change necessary." Analysis for Criteria 2 City of Miami GIS zoning data shows that there have been no changes in regard to the Miami 21 Atlas within this area since the passing of Ordinance 13114. The previous 11000 zoning code designated these properties as a SD-12 Overlay (Buffer Overlay District). Parcels within the area that were formerly SD-12 designated are "T4-L" under Miami 21. The proposed changes would be overly intense for adjacent areas that have been stable low density residential areas since the 1940s onward. Finding Criteria 2 In accordance with Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8 (f)(1)(b) of Miami 21 Code, the requested change in zoning is inconsistent. Criteria 3 Section 7.1.2.8.f.2. "A change may be made only to the next intensity Transect Zone or by a Special Area Plan, and in a manner which maintains the goals of this Miami 21 Code to preserve Neighborhoods and to provide transitions in intensity and Building Height." Analysis Criteria 3 Section 7.1.2.8 (a) establishes that changes shall occur in succession, in which the zoning change may be made only to a lesser 0 PuBLIc, 2 NOTICE This submRtat needs to be scheduled fora public teenr aord5nce wM emellnes set torah In the City of aml Code.

The proposed zoning changes are consistent with the successiona zoning change requirements stated in the table in Section 7.1.2.8 (a)(3). The proposed zoning change from "T4-L" to "T5-L" is a successional change to a higher transect zone. Pursuant to Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.(f)(2) of Miami 21 Code, the request to rezone is consistent with the Miami 21 Code. This submr tat needs to be scheduled fora public nearing in accordance wh 1 timelines set forth Ingo City of Miami Code. The appiicstle deogon-making body rAll renewthe information at the public hearing to render a recommendation or a final decidon. PZ-21-10180 07/30/21 F. CONCLUSION The Applicant's request to amend the Miami 21 Zoning Atlas from the existing "T4-L" zoning to "T5-L" for four parcels and a portion of one property located on NW 43 Avenue (the "Property"). The Property is approximately 1.75 acres and has an existing temporary parking lot use. Under the 11000 Zoning code, the Property had a SD-12 Overlay that was historically used for buffering and parking. Other properties within proximity to the subject Property that formerly were zoned with a SD.1 Overlay are currently T4-L under Miami 21. While the request is successional, Staff did not find the request to be consistent with the GOPs of the MCNP nor was the request seen as necessary and consistent with adjacent zoning. Staff recommends Denial of the proposed changes to the Miami 21 Atlas.
